Given the legendary apres ski we're veering away from a catered chalet towards a self catered apartment for the extra flexibility. Looking for a good quality 6 to 8 person appartment in the centre of town. Have made an enquiry with Aparthotel Anton but looking for other options. Anyone have any recommendations? Also for restaurants and après ski ideas. Thanks!

BobinCH, I'm going for the first time in February. Although I didn't book with him in the end I found Sidney Reilly (he's a snowhead) helpful and he has some apartments on his website http://www.st-antonamarlberg.co.uk/

A few thoughts..
Just the other side of the roundabout from Aparthotel is Pepi's Skihotel right next to the Rendl lift - with some great apartments on the top floor one of which has terrific views across the mountain.
For apres you've got the obvious Mooserwirt and KK options which you ought to do, I also enjoy Heustadl .
The Underground on Piste has good live music and is one of my favorites.
For dinner the restaurant in the museum is very smart and Bodega does good tapas.

So many options - For the midweek chalet hosts' night off go to Hazienda for a meal, you'll enjoy it, Angentinien Rindfleisch mit Nudeln..............mmmm! A great restaurant, great cocktails, and music later on. Pricey but a treat!! 
Also Giabli - opposite Mooswirt for lunch (bad weather days, long lunches with booming 70/ 80's rock......ha, ha), especially good when the Austrians are ski-racing on Eurosport, big Plasma, big atmosphere etc - see you there January, can't wait. Also Senn Hutte, best cheeseburger in the Alps!

Haus Amperg. Stayed their for four weeks when I was on my gap course, although in February it'll only be 'normal' guests staying there. Just behind the spar, at the bottom of the main street but just off to one side. Two minutes from Bar Cuba for happy hour, 5 mins walk to the Glazigbahn, and a downhill stagger from anywhere where you would be drinking.

On the apres front KK's is a bit too hipster for my taste, the Mooserwirt is the epitome of Austrian apres (get there at 3pm when they turn the lights down and the music up, and kickstart the party with 'the final countdown' - also very good for lunch (expensive, but very good value when you consider the side of the portions - the gulaschsuppe is ace), Cuba weekdays 4-6 has probably the cheapest beer in resort for happy hour, not really typical apres though. Plenty of other options too.

Bobo's is good for Tex-Mex food early evening and decent drinking later. You must try the Jagermeister-fuelled 1am karaoke (the mrs and I went for "Where is my mind"). Avoid 70s disco nights though, there are predatory cougars around.

BobinCH, Make sure you go to the funky chicken, il pomodoro and or/ platzl apres club as they're all being knocked down next summer...

Haus Amperg is now called Altes Thoenihaus. A new Spa was built in the old part of the house for last season.

OMG  Il Pomodoro is my favourite resort restaurant anywhere. Cheap, buzzing and great pizzas.

Scotty's pizzas is one of the most up and down places to eat in St Anton. I have honestly had some of the worst undercooked doughy nasty pizzas I've ever been served there, other times piping hot and delicious. I can only guess that it must depend on who is cooking. Pomodoros probably does slightly better pizza in my view, certainly more consistent.

You know it makes sense.

If you're at the Nasserein end, Pizza Burger Express do nice pizzas. The burger are good value and tasty too. It's a takeaway really (does delivery) but you can eat in.
Not a big fan of Scotty's, pizzas weren't too bad, but there are better places (Pommodoro, San Antonio, PBE).

I'm off to St. Anton in Feb (arranged through Sidney although not one of his places - thanks Sid). This is very valuable information for the beer and food  . Not sure about starting Apres at 3pm tho' would normally still be sliding about until 4 at the earliest and usually later.

This is one of the oldest restaurants in St Anton. I think you may of hit it on a bad day.
This is also one of the cheapest places grab Lunch around €7 all in !! Ski down & just a short walk.

Thanks for all the advice. Tried Sidney who's very helpful. Probably going to go for a Supertravel catered chalet. Will note down all the food and apres recommendations although if we try them all I'm not sure how we'll get up for the skiing in the morning

The offer at igluski is for Pepi Gabl hotel which is not the Pepi's ski hotel mentioned by boabski...... very different beast.... and at the opposite end of town...

I'm hitting there on the 6th of Feb....staying the Hotel Rundeck, it ain't cheap....but then again packages have gone through the roof over here now.
I've looked at coming over via Zurich and organising a transfer (I ain't driving, it interferes with me drinking)...anyone know of some resonable hotels or pensions???
Can someone recommend me a non-piste bar that'll be playing that uber shite Austrian/German apres tunes that we all love so well???....think "The Ice Bar" in Mayrhofen....the Moosewirt sound ace but we've got non skier with us so they have to be included.
Cheers.

Picadilly/Post Keller I think, have recollections of hearing Das Fliegerleid and Wir wollen die Eisbaer sehen in there amongst others, although it was nearer 2am that Apres ski time...
May not play the German Apres you're after, but I enjoyed Cuba for a more relaxed Apres, beer was around the 2 euro mark and had somebody playing live.

nozawaonsen, Nice one...she'll be delighted she's not missing out on the craic, thanks for that.
...and with regards to Cuba and it's cheap drink (I knew Castro was a Paddy!) what's the resort like pricewise ??

dazman, expect to pay c.€5 a pint in the main places - Mooserwirt, Krazy Kanguruh and Picaddilly. The Rundeck actually does a very nice pint of Zipfer for around €3.50 but is dead quiet. Make sure you head over from the Mooserwirt to the Griabli for The Snowtones - great place to get some Kaiser and Heisse Witwe's down your throat without the waiting of the Moos/KK. Your non skiing friend will be able to taxi up to these places and slide down on bum afterwards

boabski, Cheers...beer advice is second to only piste conditions when it comes to the importance of local knowledge.
